Hail Southern!

If you watched the 2014 Georgia Southern @ Georgia Tech game or better yet, if you attended the game, then you would know the ACC referees took the game out of the players hands with a terrible reversal of an ON THE FIELD call (requires indisputable evidence…it’s still being disputed). Georgia Southern was the better team that day and still has the more dynamic roster. Thank you Paul Johnson and the Tech AD for not being scared (UGAg) and rescheduling the Eagles…GS won’t leave it in question this go around. It would be great for the state if GS and Tech continued to schedule a game (maybe a H&H once Paulson Stadium is expanded to 30k) every other year. Athletically, as of late, the two schools are closer to peers than big brother-little brother.

Hail Southern!

Interesting that 5 of those 6 times were when Georgia Southern had 63 scholarships. The 6th game was a carry over from GS’s FCS days and Georgia elected to move the game from 2016 to 2015 probably because they didn’t want an additional year of FBS recruiting for GS. Georgia was gifted that win last year and every dawg fan knows it. For both parties, it is understood that Georgia no longer wants any part in scheduling GS and frankly that’s fine by me.

Don’t worry Kevin Kelly, that’s just GS non-sense talk. They told GSU that they’d never beat GS – but in the just the second meeting (last year) GSU gave them their worst defeat in the history of Paulson High School County Stadium, The glory days of GS are behind them. The newsflash to GS is that they are the #4 team in the state of Georgia and they think that they are #1.

Georgia Southern’s coach was on his way out and focused on a million dollar salary…way to go. How’d that bowl game work out for the mighty Panthers? Let’s compare some numbers for a minute…17-53 (129th in FBS) vs. 375-200-10 (14th in FBS)…0 D1 National Championships vs. 6 D1 National Championships (most all-time)…0 D1 Conference Titles vs. 11 D1 Conference Titles. WHEW! I can certainly understand why a Panther fan (those exist?) would cling like hell to that win against Georgia Southern! Run along now, let us men get back to it.

GS has never beat UGA – GS has never beat GT – GS is 50/50 against GSU.
So your excuse is that GS got pounded at home by GSU cause your coach was dreaming about a real job? Really? That’s all it took for the mighty Beagles to lose at home? A coach’s daydream? All that tripe that GS spews about GSU and you got pounded in just the second effing year by a five year old football team? Fact is that Richt got fired because he almost lost to GS so that should tell you about how little respect there is for the GS product. So maybe GS needs to realize that they may start to fall behind KSU or Mercer. You guys have such an incredible false sense of entitlement from all those Pee-Wee league trophies. Probably ought to go on back to FCS Pee-Wee league! How about that Capt GAyTAy?

Hail Southern!

The Real GSU has played UGA and GT once with equal scholarships. Do you understand that having 22 less scholarships is a disadvantage? Once the playing field was made even, the Real GSU lost by a combined 10 points in their first outings with 85 scholarships. Again, I appreciate GT rescheduling the Real GSU unlike UGAg (I bet you’re a UGAg fan before a GAy St fan). Do you understand that when a head coach does not prep their team for a game that the team is unprepared? Big concepts here. Do you have any facts or just opinions? Richt was on the hot seat at the start of that season and the season before that…try to keep up. The fact that you recognize KSU and Mercer says a lot about where you view GAy St. Pee-Wee trophies…you’re talking about Division 1 National Championships. Do you understand that prior to the College Football Playoff, the FCS Playoff was the highest form of a college football playoff in existence? Oh but computers picking two teams worked out every time. The Real GSU should go back to FCS? You mean the Real GSU with the 18-7 FBS record (.720)? How about GAy St with the 7-30 FBS record (.189). This is too easy man, c’mon. (A) Why would GAy St field a football team and (B) why would ANYONE be a fan???? LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!

good article ….but i would say Georgia Southern has a much better chance of beating Georgia Tech than many of the games you have ranked as more likely. I don’t think very many people would be surprised is Georgia Southern wins that game.

BYU is considered by some to be a P5 “for scheduling purposes.” But we’re not actually a P5, since we don’t belong to a P5 conference. That’s why it’s so important for us to get into the Big XII…the fate and viability of our football program rests on it. If we don’t get in and become an actual P5, our future looks no better than that of New Mexico State.

When they say little brother, I think they actually mean LITTLE BROTHER! Auburn is not a little brother to Bama, same conference, same league, Auburn has done their fair share of butt whooping on Bama in the past. If that was the case then the article would have Michigan vs Michigan St.

small 10 HATER!

UGA/Gator hater is officially changing his name to small 10 hater. Bozo’s like Jinzo need to feel the hate in every post. All they do is hate on the SEC so lets return the hate. Michigan fan this hate is not aimed at you but for the other 13 can’t count members of the very small 10 you are free game. Auburn. LSU, Florida and Alabama have something that only one small 10(14) team has in the 2000’s so keep hating!

It will be interesting to see how UGA approaches OOC scheduling now with Kirby Smart ad HC. UGA has been the only SEC team which started to regularly scheduling two OOC games with P5 teams. GT is always on the schedule. In 2013 and 2014 UGA played Clemson. In 2016 UGA plays UNC, 2017 and 2019 ND UCLA is on the schedule for 2025 and 2026.

I hope the Playoff Committee starts making playing only 9 regular season games with P5 teams an issue.The committee made the Big 12 not having a CCG in 2014 an issue and even though UNC played 10 regular season games with P5 teams the fact UNC played 2 games with FCS teams was an issue.

Small 10 it takes 2 to schedule… call Auburn, Tennessee, LSU Texas A&M. They are scheduling ACC and Pac 12 teams. Who is afraid of who? Other then Michigan & Wisconsin no Small 10 teams seem to be scheduling SEC teams. Haters like to hate

To balance the UMass series, UAB should host Coastal Carolina in 2017, and then Coastal would host UAB in 2018. When Coastal hosts a buy game against an FCS opponent, that gives them the minimum 5 home games for both seasons. Likewise UAB would host an FCS opponent each year, which gives them six home games for 2017 and five for 2018. The NCAA requires a minimum of 10 games, so UAB would need just one game for 2018, which could be on the road. Of course they can play up to twelve both years, so that probably means they get to be “bought” by 3 teams needing home games.

Coastal will have to drop its 2017 game at Western Illinois due to its transition to FBS, so the Leathernecks’ schedule now has an opening, unless if Western Illinois is willing to play at Coastal Carolina.
